As a result, economists moved away from trade as a plausible explanation for rising income inequality. In recent years, however, a number of new mechanisms have been explored through which trade can affect (and usually increase) income inequality. These include within-industry effects due to heterogeneous firms; effects of offshoring of tasks; effects on incomplete contracting; and effects of labor-market frictions. A number of these mechanisms have received substantial empirical support. aHardcopy version available to institutional subscribers. aSystem requirements: Adobe [Acrobat] Reader required for PDF files. aMode of access: World Wide Web. 7aF16 - Trade and Labor Market Interactions2Journal of Economic Literature class. 7aF23 - Multinational Firms • International Business2Journal of Economic Literature class.1 aMcLaren, John.1 aMcMillan, Margaret S.2 aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 0aWorking Paper Series (National Bureau of Economic Research)vno. w16425.4 uhttp://www.nber.org/papers/w1642541uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.3386/w16425
